TV first of all, I got the message that you had no problem with women dispatchers. I guess that's understandable. I didn't say they were all bad, I just said they had their own special problems.
I find it hard to believe that after getting out of the business for 19 years you'd fall right back into the same old traps that drove you out in '83. I'm amazed that you'd sit for days running your own equipment and cool your heels for no pay. Did you park at such a poor truck stop that they had no load board with a direct connect phone for you to line up a load? After the first time you got burned you actually rolled on a load from that dispatcher without first calling the shipper for directions and a confirmation of load time? Any O/O who would sit still for that kind of abuse deserves to be driven out of business, and should expect to drive only binders. But if I were to hire you, you'd be running an old 238 cummins 'cause they idle for days on end cheaper than today's engines.
After 1 year on the road you were still being brow beaten by dispatchers over delivery miles / times, road conditions, undocumented load times?

I've heard these stories from you when I pull in for supper, and 8 hours later when I get up for breakfast you're still sitting there running the same miles over and over while the rest of the drivers wipe their mouth's and head down the road.

How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
